Limit characters in RSS feed 1.4

[pamirkiziltug]

Hello,

I tried this add-on with WordPress. How can I limit characters? And is there any way to remove photos? I think this add-on should include these features.

Thanks.

@Andy could you test it with Wordpress RSS?

Thanks.

@Andy Could you include an option to fix the height of each RSS post?

If not, this could easily be done in the include LESS file.

I tried using a CSS approach to limit the height of each RSS post, but I was unsuccessful.

I think you can change focus for RSS feed add-ons. For example "RSS feed for Wordpress", "RSS feed for Xenforo" type add-ons will be better. You can add special features (phrase limit, photo width etc.) in add-on settings with this way.

RSS feeds are universal, so any will work (for the most part).

Limiting the description is not a trivial thing to do in a RSS feed. It's something that ideally done at the source.

Yes but I tried most of Wordpress RSS feed editor. The newest published 2 yrs ago. Finally I can't use this plug-in now in my Xenforo. Not looks nice I mean.

You can use a RSS feed creator like Feedburner to create summary feeds of your Wordpress site (content will be truncated with ... at the end). Other options exist as well. I'll look into the CSS fix for this, but agree with Andy truncating the actual HTML content is non-trivial. You can't just chop it off, since all the HTML tags will be left unclosed and your page will blow up.
